Loud noice from Samsung HLN467 Wx/XAA

My TV has worked great for years but now all of a sudden it is making a grinding noise. I took off the panel which houses the fan and it is not the fan. It sounds like it's coming from the bulb. The picture is perfect so what ever the noise is it's not affecting the picture. The noise starts out low and is getting louder.
